From the report: “AUTOMATION is threatening several jobs with obsolescence, and accountants are supposedly at the top of the hit list. According to research by Frey and Osborne cited in a 2014 article by The Economist, 47% of job categories are open to automation within two decades. Accountants and auditors are the second highest in terms of risk, just after telemarketers.”
